    :deal

    I bet a lot of the guys in this thread saying it's OK are the exact same guys saying Pac is chicken for wanting to have weight advantages in his fights.

    I have the same standard: if you want to fight a champion for his belts, fight at that champion's weight limit.

    Ward and Dawson are doing that. Pac does not.

    I hope Ward gets his ass beat. Has he ever even left Oakland? The world must seem gigantic to him. Someone should take him on holiday to, say, San Francisco or LA. It would be an eye opening experience for him, and no doubt very educational

    Dawson could give 2 ****s about 168 belts.

    This is a stupid position, Dawson called him out at this weight, Wards SMW belts are on the line, it's a SMW fight...not sure what the problem is?

    He kicked Froch's ass 2,935 miles from Oakland...3 time zones away...it's further than Quebec to Nottingham, but hey don't let facts stand in the way of your stupid ass argument.

    Dawsons a G for walking into Wards backyard at Wards weight, if he wins it'll be a monumental victory. He's got everything against him icluding most likely being not quite as good as Ward, if he makes it close I give him props. I think Ward wins 7-5 type UD, Dawson will need to win no less than 9 clear rounds to get the decision in OAkland.

    He was in his home country. Bad Chad has fought in Canada, the UK and all over America multiple times

    They are both looking to use weight to their advantage. Some like it, some don't.

    It's ESB. These guys look at one situation, and apply it to another to try and make some pointless point...

    Agree, the thing is its a great fight, two prime champions, it's stupid to ***** about it. Both guys deserve credit as it will be the toughest fight of either of their careers.
